A favorite color palette really sets the tone for your wedding celebration. It has the powerto define a mood and exemplify a persona. Are you feeling blue? Green with envy? RedHot? Whatever the mood, Pantone, can point you in the right direction.

Ask any Stationary Designer, Florist, Art Director, Interior Designer or Event Plannerwho Pantone is and they will tell you; Pantone, Inc. is the world's color authority.Pantone provides design professionals with products and services for colorfulexploration and expressions of creativity. Talk about creativity, I just love the wayEvent Planner, extraordinaire, David Stark, used the blue and green Pantone colorswatches to decorate the event shown above.

Color selection may seem like a daunting task. But the truth is, you don't have to bea design professional to absorb ideas. In addition to the tons of bridal magazines thatare all over your coffee table, pick up the latest fashion or interior design magazine forinspiration. Wedding colors are reflective of hot colors in interior design and currentcouture fashion. Above are pages taken from House & Garden magazine. (I'm so sad tohear that this magazine will cease publication next month, it was always a constantsource of inspiration for me).

Selecting a color theme for your table is a lot like choosing a color palette for yourwedding, you're limited only by your creativity. Pantone brings its color expertiseto the table and their Palette tableware collection allows you to mix and match colorsto suit your own individual style.

Anne, I'm so upset about H&G, I just can't believe it! Just when the issues were starting to get "really" good, they go and pull the plug! I love that green as well...Do you have that paint color? If so, who is the manufacturer?

Hi Lindsey, it's the "Special Issue: Color Trends" - March 2007.This was a fantastic issue - - - "New ways to use color", "How to mix bolds and neutrals", "Make a Pale Palette interesting", were just a few of the articles in this issue.

Mrs B. wasn't that one of the best issues of the year! The color combinations that they featured - - - "tangerine and stone", "pink and brown", "green, black and white"; these were all great. BUT NOTHING BEATS that fabulous "purple and gray"! All I can is - - - stayed tuned!
